Psalms 19:7; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20
Bingham Bryant discovered an ancient treasure at school. An unusual painting in the library caught his attention and he liked it so much, he told his dad. Bingham's father was an antique dealer and he researched the painting and learned it had hung on the walls at his son's school for seventy years!
Walter Crane painted that masterpiece in 1878, and he called it, ''The Horses of Neptune.'' After his death, his heir loaned the painting to the Old Lyme School in 1935. That painting, which collected dust for seventy years, was sold at auction for $1 million!
If you liked that story, you're probably a big fan of PBS-TV. Antiques Roadshow is on every Monday and Sunday evenings at 7:00 p.m. On that show every day, ordinary people ask experts to determine the worth of family heirlooms.
If you'll watch once I guarantee that you'll be rummaging through the garage, the attic, and the backyard shed for valuable junk! You might even start paying attention to what people store away in old barns.
You may not have valuable antiques in your living room, or masterpieces hanging on your walls, but every person here has a book on a shelf, or in a drawer, or lying beside the bed. Your Bible is a priceless treasure!
The Greek word for Bible is logos and it means, ''Book.'' Originally, it was the common word for all written documents. Before long, however, it was used exclusively to refer to ''...the good book.''
It doesn't matter if it's paperback or leather bound, or if it's a red-letter edition or written in Greek, or if it's a King James Version, a paraphrase, or a Gideon's New Testament. Your Bible is a priceless, ancient treasure and you should feel honored to possess it.
I heard about a young couple who invited their pastor and his wife to dinner. They were nervous! They'd never had their pastor in their home before and that young wife was ...
